kandi X-RAY | vsftpd Summary

vsftpd is a C library typically used in Networking, FTP applications. vsftpd has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However vsftpd has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be resilient to attack. Recent evidence shows that vsftpd is also extremely fast and scalable. vsftpd has achieved ~4000 concurrent users on a single machine, in a production environment. vsftpd is now a proven stable solution. Of particular note, RedHat used vsftpd to enable ftp.redhat.com to support 15,000 concurrent users across their server pool. This extreme load was generated by the release of RedHat 7.2 to the world. vsftpd now powers some of the largest and most prestigious sites on the internet.

Setting up VSFTPD user to have write access to apache2's html directory

Asked 2021-May-26 at 02:54

Seems like this should be easy, but I'm really struggling here. I'm not well versed on Linux but I can get around. I just setup a new Ubuntu v20.04.2 Server and installed Apache2 on it. I then installed VSFTPD on it as well.

Now I'm trying to get it so when I login with user "remote" that I'm locked into the /var/www/html/ directory, but have write access to anything inside.

my vsftpd.conf file has the following uncommented settings:

You may need to add a few more options to your vsftpd.conf file. This is generally the settings that I've used in the past:

Mosquitto: Starting in local only mode but can't fix

My Rpi4 running my home automation recently upgraded itself from mosquitto version 1.6.12 to 2.0.8 and as a consequence it was starting in local only mode.

Done some digging about but still can't get it all working again, mainly used this previous helpful question Mosquitto: Starting in local only mode but my devices still can't connect.

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Feb-27 at 13:39

Your problem is not that Mosquitto is not listening, it's that your devices are trying to resolve a hostname of 127.0.0.1:1883

I suspect you have entered the host:port combination into fields that should

Only contain a hostname/IP address
You probably should NOT be entering 127.0.0.1 as this always points to the device it is entered on and you should be entering the IP address the broker is actually running on.

I have a Sony a7iii camera that I'm trying to connect to a self-hosted vsftpd server. Connection works fine in FTP (unencrypted) mode but fails when I switch to encrypted mode per the log readout below. Have already followed the guide to prepare the camera from Sony's website. Server is running Debian 10 with vsftpd 3.0.3 and openssl 1.1.1d. Connection from FileZilla on a different client works fine.

Using socket.py to make a List request towards the FTP server and get file list

Asked 2020-Nov-20 at 12:09

I need to make a request to a specific FTP server and make a LIST/NLST request to get the list of all files (i want to start with at least current dir) without using libraries like ftplib, using only the socket.py. Here's my take on it (the ip, username and password are actually filled, i would prefer not to share them if possible):

"Could not login to FTP server" error indicates that your credentials are wrong. The error is issued when FTPClient.login fails.

I see that you have validated that you have the correct credentials by authenticating with a GUI FTP client. So chances are that there are some special characters in the credentials that may need some escaping or special treatment.

FTP needs to open two connections to work properly. One for control and one for data. Whenever you get "cd works but ls doesn't", the data connection is not getting established.

Troubleshooting tips:

look for any firewalls/NATs along the way
try toggling active/passive mode, this opens the data connection from the other side
look at what is happening using network debugging tools like tcpdump/wireshark

How to tell vsftpd which ssl to use

Asked 2020-Jun-24 at 16:09

I already have vsftp set up with an SSL which is working fine. The issue is that the SSL is for the server's host name and not one of my client's. This client has to be PCI compliant, so when the PCI scan takes place it checks the FTP ports and sees that the SSL is not associated with my client's URL. My question is how can I set vsftp up to serve an SSL based off the IP address or the hostname?

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Jun-24 at 16:09

I finally found the answer to this on Red Hat's site (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5172631).

Essentially, the default configuration file is located at /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. You need to update this file to listen to the default IP address for the server using listen_address=.... Then, copy that file to /etc/vsftpd/[site].conf and change the listen_address to the one for the other site. (Obviously, you have to have different IP addresses for different sites for this to work.)

Once done, enable vsftpd.target and start it:

QUESTION

Snapd keeps running, causing jbd2/sda2-8 accessing the disk with no read or write, consuming lots of io and system load

Asked 2020-Jun-06 at 08:05

I am experiencing high io usage by jbd2/sda2-8 while I am doing nothing.

The problem is that I am running no performance intensive program but the system load continues to be high. Actually the normal load is below 0.05, but from yesterday it has been always been higher than 1.5. After some time digging in the reason, I think that it is the jbd2/sda2-8's io usage that caused the problem.

Later I went to room where the PC locates and found out that the HDD LED light keeps flashing, maybe lots of times in a second. It means that io usage is really a problem.

Here, https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1148545, it tells me that jbd2 is not the root cause and I must found out which program is really writing or reading the disk. So I found out that the real cause is snapd.

I tried temporarily stopping the snapd service, and the load went down immediately.

Apache VFS - FTPS support for TLSv1

Please can someone tell me if Apache VFS 2.6.0 will support FTPS at TLSv1 ?

The reason I ask is because we have written an application using VFS and developed it against VsFTPD 3.0.2

Now we have moved into testing we are seeing a lot of old machines using VsFTPD 2.2.2 with only TLSv1 support.
